Message-Id: <1278100699-24132-5-git-send-email-jmoyer@redhat.com> Date: Fri, 2 Jul 2010 15:58:17 -0400 From: Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@...hat.com> To: linux-ext4@...r.kernel.org Cc: axboe@...nel.dk, linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org, vgoyal@...hat.com, tao.ma@...cle.com, Jeff Moyer <jmoyer@...hat.com> Subject: [PATCH 4/6] jbd: use WRITE_SYNC for journal I/O In my fsync testing, journal I/O most definitely was sync I/O, since another process was blocked waiting for the results. By marking all journal I/O as WRITE_SYNC, I can get better performance with CFQ. If there is a way to mark this only for cases where it is blocking progress in a dependent process, then that would be preferrable. Is there such a means for determining and flagging this?
